Cytec Engineered Materials Sponsoring JEC Automotive Forum

Cytec Engineered Materials (CEM), a division of Cytec Industries (NYSE:CYT), today announced that it is honored to be the premier sponsor for the JEC Automotive Forum being held during JEC Composites Conference in Paris, France.

Movement toward lighter, stronger and tougher materials has remained constant throughout each stage of the automotive evolution. Automotive manufacturers are actively seeking reliable material solutions with the optimum blend of cost and performance to advance their unique applications.

"Automotive designers and engineers constantly face the challenge of introducing lower weight, higher strength and cost optimized materials for their applications,” says Steve Stone, vice president-commercial, High Performance Industrial Materials. "The rapid introduction of fuel economy standards and stringent environmental regulations are also driving a new demand for technology creators to rely on advanced composite materials for these applications.”

Leveraging the knowledge and experience from its best-in-class aerospace materials, CEM developed a high performance automotive product portfolio which consistently meets strength, weight and manufacturing requirements and provides unlimited design opportunities for both invention and innovation. These epoxy resins and prepregs have a proven success record in high performance Formula One racecar and high-end roadcar applications. CEM also produces a variety of ancillary products for this market, including structural adhesives and surfacing films.

The JEC Automotive Forum is being held on Tuesday, April 13, 2010 from 2:30pm to 5:00pm at the Paris Porte de Versailles, the site of the JEC Exposition.
